My photographic style: Weddings are based around the emotion of the day and being on the periphery to capture, not control. I like to be a hidden part of the day and frequently receive comments asking how on earth I managed to capture certain moments.

My portraiture relies on getting to know and understand an indervidual so that a relevant photo can be created rather than a generic, catalogue shot.

My greatest strengths: I'm a People person I adapt and change to suit the environment and enjoy building a rapour with clients so that we work together in getting the images they want.

I have been in photography: Ive been taking photos since I was old enough to carry a camera. My father remains an acomplished landscape photographer and my love grew from there.

How I got started in photography: A youthful passion and hobby turned serious in 2001 in employment as a photographer in my first studio. From there pure experimentation developed me further along with reading and experience with other photographers.
